The wine press I'm working on I discovered today that it's made of cherry. Kind of floored me actually. I never expected cherry. I figured white oak, red oak, maple or even hickory but I never expected cherry. Anyway, I wasn't going to stain this but I have changed my mind. However, I seem to be stuck on certain colors that I like. Actually I have already picked the stain I'm probably going with but I would like to see if it matches with others opinions. So here are the three stains I considered. One is Cabernet, one is Cherry and one is Red Chestnut. Which one do you like the best for this application?

Cabernet or chestnut. Either will suit the press just fine.

I don't like any of them, sorry Fin Man, but out of the three the chestnut is the sexiest. It would help if you took a pic with the painted/seasoned parts that you will marry with the wood. Just a suggestion.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Wow! people on here have opinions on everything yet with 100 views only 3 opinions? Good grief, the participation level here has something to be desired.

Finster, I tend to be like wet dog, in that I like the natural grain clear coated , to enjoy the natural tones. However, if the wood grain is plain , out of your three choices, I would go with the cherry tone. It seems to be the most clear, allowing the wood grain to be seen a bit better.
In considering what Keith mentioned, it seems your press will eventually get stained anyway, so that being the case, if you don't want it too dark over time, you could either let your produce colour it , or use the lightest stain you have , which would be the cherry , and over time it will darken.
My second choice would be the chestnut.

I really don't care for any of those choices either, lol. I guess Chestnut if I had to pick.
